1. A new and distinct Salvia plant named `Bareulbecilas` as illustrated
and described.

Description

[0001] Botanical designation: Salvia nemorosa.

[0002] Cultivar denomination: `BAREULBECILAS`.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of
Salvia plant, botanically known as Salvia nemorosa and hereinafter
referred to by the name `Bareulbecilas`.

[0004] The new Salvia plant is a product of a planned breeding program
conducted by the Inventor in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands. The objective of
the breeding program is to create new compact Salvia plants with unique
and attractive flowers.

[0005] The new Salvia plant originated from a cross-pollination in June,
2013 of a proprietary selection of Salvia nemorosa identified as code
number SV-0001, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a
proprietary selection of Salvia nemorosa identified as code number
SV-0005, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Salvia
plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering
plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a
controlled environment in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands in December, 2013.

[0006] Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by vegetative terminal
cuttings in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, since December, 2013 has shown
that the unique features of this new Salvia plant are stable and
reproduced true to type in successive generations.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Plants of the new Salvia have not been observed under all possible
combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The
phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions
such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in
genotype.

[0008] The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are
determined to be the unique characteristics of `Bareulbecilas`. These
characteristics in combination distinguish `Bareulbecilas` as a new and
distinct Salvia plant: [0009] 1. Upright and compact plant habit.
[0010] 2. Vigorous growth habit. [0011] 3. Freely branching habit. [0012]
4. Early and freely flowering habit. [0013] 5. Upright inflorescences
with light blue-colored flowers. [0014] 6. Good garden performance.

[0015] Plants of the new Salvia can be compared to plants of the female
parent selection. Plants of the new Salvia differ primarily from plants
of the female parent selection in flower bud and flower color as plants
of the female parent selection have red-colored flower buds and dark
blue-colored flowers.

[0016] Plants of the new Salvia can be compared to plants of the male
parent selection. Plants of the new Salvia differ primarily from plants
of the male parent selection in the following characteristics: [0017]
1. Plants of the new Salvia are more compact than and not as broad as
plants of the male parent selection. [0018] 2. Plants of the new Salvia
and the male parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the
male parent selection have pink-colored flowers. [0019] 3. Flowers of
plants of the new Salvia produce little to no pollen whereas flowers of
plants of the male parent selection produce pollen.

[0020] Plants of the new Salvia can be compared to plants of Salvia
nemorosa `May Night`, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted
in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, plants of the new Salvia differed from
plants of `May Night` in the following characteristics: [0021] 1.
Plants of the new Salvia were more compact in plant habit than plants of
`May Night`. [0022] 2. Plants of the new Salvia had shorter internodes
than plants of `May Night`. [0023] 3. Plants of the new Salvia were more
freely branching than plants of `May Night`. [0024] 4. Plants of the new
Salvia had smaller leaves than plants of `May Night`. [0025] 5. Plants of
the new Salvia had smaller flowers than plants of `May Night`. [0026] 6.
Plants of the new Salvia and `May Night` differed in flower color as
plants of `May Night` had dark blue-colored flowers.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH

[0027] The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall
appearance of the new Salvia plant showing the colors as true as it is
reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited
in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the
actual colors of the new Salvia plant. The photograph is a side
perspective view of a typical flowering plant of `Bareulbecilas` grown in
a container.
